  Observations about dubs as people...

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking back on some of the people i knew growing up, as well as my own family - many of whom are dubs... tell me what your own experiences are of these kind of people, did you notice a large prevalence of these types of people in the congs you attended:.

  1. health nuts: into all sorts of alternative health theories like iridology, reflexology, homeopathy etc?

  2. get rich quick folk: always getting involved in this scheme or that, this business or that - especially pyramid type things?.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, i keep hearing reference to this.

  was this just taking place in really small congregations?

  i mean, i know the philosophy behind it; my mom would put a hat on to pray in front on my "unbelieving" dad.

  im thinking about my mother today.

  shes been in the truth for over 30 years now baptized in her mid 20s.

  she had been faithful the whole time despite being married to a severe alcoholic (my father only studied) for 27 years.

  Noah's ark - Can't believe I once actually thought it was true

  by sam_sane_now in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a jw i didn't even question that the noah's ark story might not be true.

  i didn't realise that it wasn't achievable for a handful of people to gather literally millions of animals - two of each kind - and fit them into a boat where they would all survive for many days.

  i didn't think about the fact that if the highest mountain was covered with water then how could plant life like trees and flowers come to exist again, especially so soon after, with the raven grabbing an olive leaf was it?

  New Here

  by LearningMore in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been lurking here for a couple of months.

  i was born and raised as a witness, and am a little weirded out to even be posting on here (you know the paranoia).

  anyway, i faded about 10 years ago, and after reading so many posts, i am so happy that it was a pretty uneventful experience.
